Description
A beautiful island located off the northwest coast of mainland Wales, Anglesey is known for its spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife and charming coastal villages. With a mix of rolling hills, sandy beaches, and rugged cliffs, Anglesey offers a unique blend of natural beauty and serenity, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. It has long been a destination favoured by those seeking adventure, relaxation or a bit of each.
Vale Meadow can be found on the west of the island, just outside the village of Valley near Holyhead. Accessed via a stoned track directly from the public highway, there is an area of hardstanding at the entrance where a vehicle can be parked. From here, the meadow very gradually drops away in a westerly direction towards the coast offering stunning views out to sea across Holyhead Bay. In the north west corner lies a hedgerow, beyond which a small triangle of land with longer grass and wild flowers can be found.
A meadow so close to the sea is a rare find. It is an ideal spot for those who are looking for a private piece of land with fantastic scenery to spend time and pursue conservation activities, including tree planting or wildflower meadow conservation. The land itself has had an agricultural history and has been grazed and cut for silage and haylage in recent years. It now presents an opportunity for a new owner to diversify the land and create a haven for wildlife and personal enjoyment. Tree planting has great benefits for the environment, including sinking carbon from the atmosphere into the ground, reducing soil erosion and increasing air quality. What better legacy is their to leave for future generations to come?
The meadow is boarded on two sides by well-established hedges containing gorse, hawthorn and other hedgerow species whilst the south eastern boundary is marked by the access track and the north western a stock proof fence. Local amenities are located just a short distance away in Valley. A network of local footpaths (none of which cross or abut the meadow) enable access to the surrounding countryside and coastline.
Vale Meadow would appeal to anyone who is looking for a private meadow in an idyllic spot, awash with potential for conservation and spending time with family and friends.
In terms of finding the meadow, when heading west on the A55 towards Holyhead leave at the Valley exit (junction 3) and head through the town on the A5, Holyhead Road. After passing the petrol station on your left hand side, take the second right – Gorad Road. Go straight on for circa 1km, passing a number of houses on your left hand side, at which point the road sweeps around to the right. The main entrance is just after this bend on the left hand side, demarcated by Woodlands signs. Park here and carefully climb the gate before walking up the stoned track for around 175m at which point Vale Meadow will be on your left hand side, immediately after the first hedge row you pass through.

Local area and history
Anglesey island is renound for its ancient history and prehistoric and Celtic remains. It is low and fertile in comparison to the relatively mountainous mainlaind of North Wales and hence has a rich agricultural history. Seafaring, trading and fishing have always been significant with Irish trading routes established early on before expansive networks opened linking North Wales with Europe and the wider world.
